Title: Peppermint Swirl Cheesecake
Categories: Cheesecake
Yield: 16 Servings

---------------------------------SEE BELOW---------------------------------

*Use Basic Recipe
*Use Graham Cracker Crust found under Crust Variations.

Candy canes, a seasonal favorite, add yummy flavor as well as festive color
to our delectable peppermint cheesecake. We think it works especially
well with our graham cracker crust.

Add 1 tsp peppermint extract to basic recipe with vanilla. Reserve 1 cup
batter. Pour remaining into prepared pan. Add 1/2 cup coarsely chopped
hard peppermint candies and 1-2 drops red food coloring to reserved batter;
swirl into batter in pan. Bake as directed. Garnish chilled cake just
before serving with crushed peppermint candies, if desired.
